Your Orthopedic Surgeon in Asheville, NC

Message to Patients:

As an Orthopedic Surgeon, I focus on individualizing treatment plans for athletes of all ages. By communicating clearly with my patients and simplifying complex medical decisions, together we can achieve excellent outcomes.

I enjoy taking care of athletes from all backgrounds, and welcome the challenge your injuries present. The surgical knowledge I have obtained through completion of a sports medicine fellowship in combination with your desire to return to play, will help us formulate the most effective plan, whether it be surgical or non-surgical in nature.

For those patients dealing with arthritis of the shoulder or knee, I offer reconstructive options, including the Reverse Total Shoulder, Total Shoulder, Total Knee Arthroplasty, and the Oxford Partial Knee Replacement.

Some patients may be hesitant to consider a joint replacement. I also perform the Superior Capsule Reconstruction for rotator cuff deficient shoulders, Subchondroplasty procedure for knee arthritis, and Platelet Rich Plasma Injections.

​Though my specialties lie in Shoulder Surgery, Knee Surgery, and Elbow Surgery I also take care of fractures, and other general orthopedic issues. If your problem is outside the scope of my practice, I will happily refer you to one of my partners who would better service your orthopaedic problem.
